1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Details Summary of Main Text Proposed Development Residential with soft landscaping

Site Use Vacant. Former Medical Centre with associated car parking

Site History Historical mapping shows the site as an undeveloped wooded area until the early 1990’s when the Northbourne Medical Centre is identified. It is understood that the Medical Centre vacated the premises in March 2014, and the site has since been vacant.

Surrounding Area The surrounding area is primarily residential.

Environmental Setting Geology Superficial: Head-diamicton Deposits

Bedrock: Tarrant Chalk Member

Hydrogeology

Superficial: Secondary Undifferentiated Aquifer Bedrock: Principal Aquifer

Source Protection Zone: SPZ3

Potential Contamination Sources

Historical mapping and environmental searches have identified the following potential sources of contamination.

• Fill material beneath hardstanding • Demolition debris within potentially imported fill

material • Naturally occurring contaminants

Risk Assessment Findings Risk ratings of moderate or greater indicate potentially

complete source-pathway-receptor linkages that can require further investigation and remedial measures. No moderate or greater risks have been identified at the site, and therefore it is considered that no further investigation is required.

Recommendations

It is considered that no further investigation is necessary for the proposed development of the site for residential use.

2 BRIEF

Mr Peter Coldbreath of Stiles Harold Williams Partnership LLP requested a phase 1 environmental desk top study for a site at Northbourne Medical Centre, Eastern Avenue, Shoreham-By-Sea, BN43 6PE on behalf of Medicen Ltd. The purpose of this report is to assess the risks to sensitive receptors both on and off-site due to soil and groundwater contamination as a result of the proposed development. It is based upon information provided by the client, and a Landmark Envirocheck, historical aerial photographs and maps. This report is based upon available factual data for the site obtained only from the sources described in the text and related to the site on the basis of the location information provided by the Client. The desk study information is not necessarily exhaustive and further information relevant to the site may be available from other sources.



3 SITE LOCATION

The site is located in the town of Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex. The site is situated on the southwest corner of the junction of Upper Shoreham Road and Eastern Avenue. Refer to Figure 1.

The National Grid Reference for the approximate site centre is 522250, 105860.

Figure 1: Site Location Plan

4 SITE DESCRIPTION

The site is approximately triangular shaped in plan and occupies 0.23ha. The northern boundary is formed by the back of the footpath of Upper Shoreham Road, and the eastern boundary is formed by the back of the footpath of Eastern Avenue. The site is bound to the south by the St Nicolas and St Mary School, and to the west by residential properties

No visit to the site was undertaken, however through online resources it has been determined that the site comprises a single-storey former medical centre with associated car parking and soft landscaped areas. A former bin store and cycle shed is present to the west of the main building. It is understood that the site has been vacant since March 2014 when the medical centre moved premises.

KEY Site Outline 250m from the Site Boundary



5 GROUND CONDITIONS

5.1 Geology

Reference to the geological survey of Great Britain indicates that beneath made ground, the area generally is underlain by superficial deposits comprising Head-diamicton deposits. The superficial deposits are underlain by bedrock comprising Tarrant Chalk Member.

5.2 Hydrogeology

The Environment Agency maps show the site to be located over a Secondary Undifferentiated Aquifer in the superficial or drift deposits, in the bedrock they show the site to be over a Principal Aquifer. Principal Aquifers comprise layers of rock or drift deposits that have either high intergranular or fracture permeability, meaning they usually provide a high level of water storage. They may support either water supply or river base flow on a strategic scale. In most cases, principal aquifers are aquifers previously designated as major aquifer.

Secondary Undifferentiated Aquifer has been assigned in cases where it has not been possible to attribute either category A or B to a rock type. In most cases, this means that the layer in question has previously been designated as both minor and non-aquifer in different locations due to the variable characteristics of the rock type.

The Environment Agency maps show the site to be located within a source protection zone, SPZ3 of a borehole abstraction point. The Environment Agency define a zone according to how the groundwater behaves in that area, what constructions there are to get the water out into the public water supply and the process for doing this. From this a model of the groundwater environment is developed on which to define the zones.



Groundwater source catchments are divided into three zones: SPZ1 – Inner protection zone Defined as the 50 day travel time from any point below the water table to the source. This zone has a minimum radius of 50 metres. SPZ2 – Outer protection zone Defined by a 400 day travel time from a point below the water table. This zone has a minimum radius of 250 or 500 metres around the source, depending on the size of the abstraction. SPZ3 – Source catchment protection zone Defined as the area around a source within which all groundwater recharge is presumed to be discharged at the source. In confined aquifers, the source catchment may be displaced some distance from the source. For heavily exploited aquifers, the final Source Catchment Protection Zone can be defined as the whole aquifer recharge area where the ratio of groundwater abstraction to aquifer recharge (average recharge multiplied by outcrop area) is >0.75.

5.3 Hydrology

The main water course of significance to the site would appear to be the Adur River which is approximately 800 metres to the south at the nearest point.

The Environment Agency maps show the site is not located within a flood zone.

Copy of extracts from the Landmark report are contained in appendix B.

5.4 Ground Stability Hazards

No areas of artificial ground, including made ground, worked ground, in-filled ground, landscaped ground or disturbed ground have been identified on site. Pockets of worked ground and made ground are shown along the Shoreham By-Pass (A27), approximately 680m north of the site. An elongated area of made ground is identified approximately 720 metres south of the site along the Wharf at Shoreham Harbour. Several other pockets of made ground and worked ground are identified further from the site.



The ground beneath the site has been identified as having a low risk of potential ground instability due to ground dissolution, and a very low risk of potential ground instability due to collapsible ground, landslide ground and running sand and shrinking or swelling clay. These risks would be expected to manifest themselves as excessive settlement in the buildings on the site. However, the risks identified are considered unlikely to be of concern to any new buildings, as the foundation design will be based upon geotechnical information obtained from a site-specific intrusive investigation.

5.5 Mining Activities

Reference to the Coal Authority data indicates that the site is not within an area of known coal mining.

5.6 Radon Gas From reference to the National Radiological Protection Board, Radon Atlas of England, the site lies within an area where between 1 and 3% of properties are above the Action Level, however radon is not generally of concern and protective measures are unlikely to be required. It is recommended that the matter is discussed with the Local Building control officer, or approved inspector, at the earliest opportunity to determine if protective measures will be required.

5.7 Sensitive Land Use

Environmentally Sensitive Areas include Nitrate Sensitive Areas, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI’s), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Parks, National Nature Reserves, Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas and RAMSAR sites. According to the Landmark Envirocheck Data, the Site is and surrounding area is identified as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.



6 SITE HISTORY

Copies of the Historical Ordnance Survey maps that have been obtained from The Landmark information group are contained in appendix C. The maps have been reviewed and items of interest and potential sources of contamination, both on the site and within the surrounding area up to 500 metres from the site boundary are noted hereunder.

7 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

Plan details for the proposed redevelopment of the site have not been provided. The most sensitive land use of residential with private garden has therefore been considered to assess the risk to human health from redevelopment of the site.



8 POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION

From review of the historical maps and the Landmark information, potential sources of on-site contamination and off-site contamination have been identified. No significant potential sources of contamination have been identified beyond a 250 metre boundary which are considered likely to have any impact on the site. Where there are similar industries and activities in the same direction, only the nearest has been listed. Copies of the relevant extracts are contained in appendix B.

8.1 Off Site Contamination

Description Distance (m) & Direction

Discharge Consents: Discharge of Surface Water to Land from development (Consent Lapsed)

82 (W) 113 (W)

Local Authority Pollution Prevention & Controls: None identified. - Category 1 and 2 Pollution Incidents to Controlled Waters: None identified. - Prosecutions Relating to Authorised Processes: None identified. - Substantiated Category 1 and 2 Pollution Incidents: None identified. - Control of Major Accident Hazards Sites (COMAH) & Planning Hazardous Substance Consents None identified. -



Landfill and Other Waste Sites: None identified. - Historical Land Uses: None identified. - Current Land Uses: Electrical sub-station 50 (E) Unspecified tank 180 (SE) Artificial Ground and Made Ground: None identified. -

In addition to these sources being small, the topography of the area generally slopes down to the south towards Shoreham Harbour, suggesting that any significant surface water run-off or percolation through made ground deposits would migrate in this direction. Therefore, due to their location with respect to the site, the off-site sources identified above, are not considered to be a source of potential off-site contamination.

8.2 On Site Contamination

Review of historical maps indicates that the site was an undeveloped wooded area until the early 1990’s when the Northbourne Medical Centre is identified. Several planning applications were submitted to the local authority between 1985 and 2003 for the development of the site and subsequent minor alterations to the buildings and layout. It is understood that the Medical Centre vacated the premises in March 2014. It is considered that vehicles would have parked on site, on a short term basis, and as the car park is entirely covered by concrete hard standing, it is highly unlikely that potential leaks, if any, would have resulted in significant contamination of the ground beneath the hardstand. As there has been no significant previous development on site, it is highly unlikely that a significant depth of made ground is present beneath the hard standing, and therefore there is not considered to be a source of potential ground gas. There is a potential risk of potentially contaminated material beneath the hardstand if any fill material was imported to site prior to the development.



8.3 Preliminary Conceptual Model

The legislative framework for the regulation of contaminated land is embodied in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, implemented in the Contaminated Land (England) Regulations 2000. This legislation allows for the identification and remediation of land where contamination is causing unacceptable risks to human health or the wider environment. The approach adopted by UK contaminated land policy is that of “suitability for use” which implies that the land should be suitable for its current use and made suitable for any proposed future use. In this preliminary contamination assessment the site has been modelled using the Source-Pathway-Receptor approach to produce a site specific conceptual model.

Source - substances or potential contaminants which may cause harm

Pathway - a linkage or route between a source and receptor

Receptor - humans, plant life, groundwater etc., which could be harmed by a contaminant

Geological records indicate that the site is underlain by an aquifer in the superficial stratum and therefore there is a potential for contaminants to be transported both to and from site in the groundwater.



From the information available at present a preliminary conceptual model has been considered. The following potential pathways have been identified:

9 RISK ASSESSMENT

The level of information provided by the Landmark report and historic Ordnance Survey maps, together with the other information within the report is considered suitable to provide the data for a satisfactory risk assessment for the site. While there will always be uncertainties due to known or unknown gaps in information it is considered that sufficient information is available to reduce those uncertainties to within acceptable limits for the nature of the site under review. An asbestos survey of existing structures and infrastructure (as defined under Section 5(a) of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012) was beyond the brief of this report. The risk assessment has been undertaken on the basis that should asbestos be identified within buildings or infrastructure, these materials will be removed appropriately by licensed contractors and asbestos materials disposed of in accordance with legal requirements prior to demolition or other works in order to avoid contaminating soils at the site.

Medium Likely Moderate Risk

There is a potential risk to the sub-structure of any new buildings should alkaline ground conditions, or elevated sulphate levels be present on the site. As the protection of concrete is normally resolved in the building design process, the designer of the foundations should undertake appropriate geotechnical investigation and take into account the existing ground conditions.

Any visual or olfactory evidence of contamination noted during works should be investigated by a suitably qualified person and their recommendations implemented.



10 SITE WORK

10.1 Investigations

10.1.1 An intrusive geotechnical investigation may be required to provide detailed information about the engineering nature of the ground, in order to allow the most suitable foundations in terms of economy and performance to be designed. This should follow the recommendations of BS 5930, the Code of Practice for site investigations with tests carried out to satisfy the requirements of BS 1377, the Code of Practice for methods of tests for soils for civil engineering purposes. It is recommended that this includes testing for sulphates.

10.1.2 If significant organic containing material is identified within the made ground,

monitoring for ground gas should be undertaken, in accordance with BS 8576, in order to determine if gas has migrated to the property. Furthermore, if the site has been filled in the past monitoring will determine if ground gas is being generated by the fill material. If monitoring is not undertaken then gas protection measures should be installed.

10.2 Site Preparation Should any visual or olfactory evidence of contamination be noted during the works this should be investigated by a suitably qualified person and their recommendations implemented. If any potentially contaminated spoil is to be removed from site, the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing should be agreed with the facility to which the spoil is being transported. Guidance can be obtained from Environment Agency document Waste Sampling and Testing for Disposal to Landfill.

10.3 External Works

In regard to water supply reference should be made to the Water Regulations Advisory Service information and guidance note The Selection of Materials for Water Supply Pipes to be Laid in Contaminated Land. It is recommended that this report is provided to the water supplier with a request for the testing, if any, that they require.



11 SITE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS

During the course of the preparation of this report the following items, whilst not within the scope of this report, have come to our attention and should be considered. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list. 11.1 If new construction work is proposed, it is recommended that an appropriate

intrusive geotechnical site investigation is undertaken. 11.2 If redevelopment of the property is proposed it is recommended that a full

topographical survey is undertaken, if one is not available. This should identify all relevant features, boundaries and levels relating to the site and should also include ground levels on the adjacent properties and roads.

11.3 If it is proposed to make use of the existing drainage system, or any existing

connections to the mains sewers. A CCTV survey should be considered in order to determine both the general condition and suitability for the proposed use.

11.4 If any excavation works are proposed, it is recommended that all the relevant

utility companies are contacted to ascertain what pipes, cables, wires, lines and other apparatus exist close to where the work is to take place.

11.5 An asbestos survey of existing structures and infrastructure (as defined under

Section 5(a) of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012) was beyond the brief of this report. Advice should be sought regarding the potential presence and management of asbestos within existing structures and infrastructure.



12 CONCLUSIONS

Based upon the information currently available, there would in principle, appear to be

no significant contamination issues associated with the site, however, the following should be considered at this stage. It is considered that provided the recommendations of this report are implemented there is no increased risk to human health from redevelopment of the site for residential use.

12.1 It is considered unlikely that the former use of the site as a Medical Centre

would have resulted in significant contamination of the ground beneath the site. There is a potential risk of potentially contaminated material beneath the hardstand if any fill material was imported to site prior to the development, however it is considered likely that any sub-base will be removed during general site stripping. Further ground investigation is not considered necessary unless a significant depth of made ground is identified, or visual or olfactory evidence of contamination is noted during future works.

12.2 If significant organic containing material is identified within the made ground, then monitoring of potential ground gases, over a suitable period of time, will be required in order to determine the requirement for gas mitigation measures. If monitoring is not undertaken then gas protection measures should be installed.

12.3 The site lies within an area where between 1 and 3% of properties are above the Action Level, however radon is not generally of concern and protective measures are unlikely to be required. It is recommended that the matter is discussed with the Local Building control officer, or approved inspector, at the earliest opportunity to determine if protective measures will be required.

12.4 It is recommended that this report is provided to the water supplier with a

request for the testing, if any, that they require. 12.5 Any visual or olfactory evidence of contamination be noted during future works,

should be investigated by a suitably qualified person and their recommendations implemented.

12.6 If any potentially contaminated spoil is to be removed from site, the Waste

Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing should be agreed with the facility to which the spoil is being transported.
